Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

Seventh grade and 8th grade are essential years in my students’ time in middle school. They are growing into young men and women, and they are excited about the opportunities afforded to them as some of the oldest members of our school community. But, they are also nervous about applying to high school, and they are constantly rising to meet the responsibilities put upon them.

My students are just beginning their journeys as young scientists and scholars and I want to give them every opportunity to experience science in a hands-on way.

They want to put on the goggles and perform quality tests. I want them to know how to accurately measure and combine liquids so when they are in high school they shine amongst their peers. My students are inquisitive and rambunctious but at their core they are eager learners who should have every opportunity to experience a hands-on high quality science education.

My Project

During the first quarter of the year my students will be learning virtually. This means they will have no access to a lab space of any kind. My hope is to bring the lab to them through my computer so they can see lab experiments in real time. Currently my supply consists of some beakers and graduated cylinders. With my lab cart I would have a science station to put those beakers to use. Using the scale I can show students how to measure, and tare the weights of whatever they are measuring. With the hot plate I can show water changing states of matter from ice, to liquid water, and then to water vapor. Once finished, I can store my supplies safely in the dish rack. Once we're back at school the scales can be used by my students so they can apply what they've learned at home back to the classroom.

These supplies will ensure that my students will be ready for labs in high school and college.

This will help inspire them to become scientists and prepare them for what they will see in higher education. Furthermore students will be able to witness and later safely participate in hands on learning. These fundamental skills will be useful to them not only in future science classes but in life. Working together, measuring, conducting observations, and analyzing results are not exclusive to the field of science. These tools can help them with life lessons that will follow them past my classroom.
